The notorious murder suspect, who was later found civilly liable for the deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman passed away surrounded by his family at his home in Las Vegas on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Simpson became one of the most infamous figures in America after he was charged with the murders in 1994.<\/p>\n

An X post shared on his official account by his family said: \u2018On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer.<\/p>\n

\u2018He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren.\u00a0During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace. -The Simpson Family.\u2019<\/p>\n

Simpson, a former football running back who played 11 seasons with the Buffalo Bills, reinvented himself as an actor before Brown and Goldman\u2019s murders.<\/p>\n

Although cleared of the killings, his reputation was ruined forever and the latter part of his career was marked by a series of seedy ventures.<\/p>\n

After being acquitted, Simpson went on to be found civilly liable for the murders and was later forced to pay out $33.5million in damages to the victims\u2019 families.<\/p>\n

He faced further legal troubles when he was sentenced to nine to 33 years behind bars for armed robbery in Nevada in 2008.<\/p>\n

It was previously reported that the ex-NFL star was battling prostate cancer and undergoing chemotherapy.<\/p>\n

He had been pictured looking frail on a number of occasions earlier this year while walking around his Las Vegas neighborhood.<\/p>\n

He died aged 76 after a short battle with prostate\u00a0cancer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
